Bug Description

Background: we use authorized terms from the Queen's Library Spanish Headings (qlsp) and the Bilindex (bidex) on our Spanish Language Materials, and are starting to create authority records for those when we come across them.

$2 in bibliographic records contains the name of a thesaurus (for our purposes, qlsp or bidex). It would be helpful if, when we right click on that field and create a new authority record, that the Subj fixed field could be automatically filled with a code that also refers to that thesaurus (in our local system, we're collecting qlsp in thesaurus Q and bidex in thesaurus B). This would save us a step and reduce the chance of human error.

Thank you!
